Newnham, often referred to as Newnham-on-Severn, is a historic village perched on the west bank of the River Severn in Gloucestershire. This riverside community boasts sweeping views across the tidal river, and its elevated location has helped preserve much of its Georgian and Victorian architecture. The heart of Newnham features a charming mix of period homes, independent shops, cafés, and winding lanes that reflect the village’s heritage as a once-bustling port and crossing point.
